ACS eighth grade students capped off their recent class assignment of reading Charles Dickens’ classic novel, “A Christmas Carol,” by seeing the story come to life in a performance at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. Middle School Language Arts teacher Deanna Bailey organized the field trip on December 13 to give the students the opportunity to see a play performed live on stage. “For many students, it was their first time attending a play so they were very excited and amazed by the costumes, the set designs, and everything that made the experience so memorable,” Mrs. Bailey said.
